Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Neighborhood

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.6/10. Food insecurity runs 39.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 9.5/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. It tracks the Ingham County average of 4.6 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
